My name is Shannon. I’m a singer and songwriter living in Seattle. This is my happy place. May it be yours too.

Setting The Date

We did it. We finally set the date for our wedding! The 8th of September, 2012. Flip the eight on its side and it means infinity. Together forever.

After endless back and forth between two possible days, we were stuck trying to please everyone but ourselves. I wanted the Labor Day full moon Friday. Hal didn't. We even flipped a beer token at Oktoberfest, and I won the toss! But I also wanted a happy groom, so a compromise was in order.

We ultimately made our final decision with the help of a third party. A very kind reader (thank you Robert!) introduced me to a well-respected and highly accurate astrologer who had predicted the perfect date for his own wedding, right down to the weather.

I know some of you are skeptics, but this man gave me the extra assurance I needed. According to our birth charts, September 8th was indeed the best day to wed. Even if the moon won't be full, the stars will be aligned. :)
